I have a Compaq Presario 1625 and, using SuSE 5.3, it has OpenSound
3.7.1z, which I installed. The chipset for the motherboard is an ESS
chipset (can't remember which one offhand), but OSS seemed to find it
fine.

However, it chops up mp3s *horribly*. I used to use amp (which I lost in a
hardware malfunction) on my desktop. I now use xaudio and mpg123, both of
which work fine on my desktop but give EXTREMELY choppy audio on the
laptop. Both the desktop and the laptop are K6/266.

Thinking I might try something less dramatic than mp3s, I tried playing
CDs from the console, which works fine. However, I don't know if that's
going through the sound driver or what (I have no kernel sound support).

Any ideas? Thanks.
